Presents a pictorial account of Irish life from the age of the famine to the 1930s. The wide-ranging themes include Irish architecture and landscape, everyday rural life, life in the cities, popular culture and political turbulence. Portraits of Fenian and Nationalist leaders feature alongside views of Queen Victoria's army, and the harsher aspects of Ireland's history are depicted through scenes of evictions and emigration. Detailed captions set the photographs in context as well as providing information on photographic processes.
